hmm, i'm not going to give you advice because if it were me i would'nt be able to get rid of one, i'd keep them both, they're like brothers man, who wants an only child. seriously though i've had both cars, had a '91 hatch, now i drive a '91 rex. i loved both cars but i feel my rex has a bit more of a personality so i'd choose the rex, plus they're getting a bit more rare than hatches, especially an '88 Si thats a gem right there in my eyes.

i'd keep them both...but if you have to choose, id say my deciding factor would be the rust....so keep the car with less rust

Hate to say it,,but sell the hatch and get the crx..You said your hatch has deep rust and the crx only has minor rust on sunroof..So get the crx,,just make sure there is no bondo under that "blue primer" paint..Run a magnet across the body to see if it sticks..

Keep the CRX. Weighs less, handles better, in better condition, more potential.

Use the crx for daily beater and continue on the hatch, or sell me the hatch and do the rex(ha ha). No for real just sit down and way your options. If you have kids do the hatch, my kids love riding in my car (ages 3boy and 1girl). If not do the rex. **** do them both, it's not very often that you have the oppertunity to have the same gen cousins. It would be sweet to do his and her cars also, if she's worth building a car for. I would like to do that for my wife, we'll see though tonights the first time I've let her drive my car in about 2 years (long story maybe another time). Do what you want. Don't let someone else make your mind up for you.
